City Council Minutes Page 8 <br />August 3, 2020 <br />----------------------------- <br />Councilmember Wagner questioned if other fitness centers opening in the last five <br />years had the same option. Mr. Portner stated the main difference between this, and <br />other fitness facilities is the square footage. She indicated she would be upset if she <br />was another fitness facility owner. <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz would like staff to obtain information on usage and SAC fees for other <br />fitness facilities to see if the SAC fees were appropriate based on their usage. He <br />noted reducing the fees for one facility may cause issues with other facilities. <br /> <br /> Councilmember Westgaard cautioned reducing fees or agreeing to a lookback <br />approach could be dangerous as every business paying a SAC fee could request a <br />lookback. He added if the Council agrees to a lookback, he would like to see a <br />framework or policy going forward for SAC fees. <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz suggested staff bring back information on other fitness center usage. <br />He explained if this becomes a bigger issue and involves the entire city it would be a <br />reason to deny. <br /> <br />Councilmember Ovall indicated he likes the option to assess the SAC fees so a <br />business can pay over a five-year period. <br /> <br />Council consensus was for staff to research and bring back information prior to the <br />Council deciding. <br /> <br />11. Adjournment <br /> <br />There being no further business, Mayor Dietz adjourned the meeting of the Elk <br />River City Council at 8:02 p.m. <br /> <br />Minutes prepared by Jessica Miller. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />___________________ <br />John J.
